A lot of chemicals go into the cosmetics that create red lips, smoky eyes and rosy cheeks on the faces of women all over the world, and they don't just sit on the surface of the skin. One report suggests that women may absorb five pounds of toxic chemicals a year from beauty products, those chemicals eventually enter the bloodstream (not a place you want chemicals to end up). Thankfully the cosmetic industry is starting to respond to consumer worries by integrating more natural ingredients and getting rid of parabens and phthalates. It's not just small always-been-environmentally-aware brands like NVEY ECO and Burt's Bees, either; big names like CARGO and LORAC are giving their products green makeovers, too. When you're looking for eco-friendly cosmetics, read labels carefully to check for suspected health-problem chemicals and try to select items that have natural minerals, certified-organic ingredients, and plant-derived components. If in doubt consult the Cosmetic Safety Database, a ranking of eco-friendly cosmetics. You'll also find the green aspect of every product listed beside each of our products below.

Parabens are a group of chemicals that can be found in shampoos, commercial moisturizers, shaving gels, cleansing gels, personal lubricants, topical/parenteral pharmaceuticals, spray tanning solution, toothpaste and are also used as food additives. Parabens have been a source of controversy as studies have shown they can mimic the hormone estrogen, which is known to play a role in the development of breast cancers and can inhibit development of the male reproductive system.
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet and therefore highly sustainable. It is an incredibly versatile plant used for many everyday applications from flooring and wall paneling to paper and fabrics. Some of the processes through which Bamboo is turned from its raw form into usable products can have a negative environmental impact.
Products described as solar-powered use the sun as an energy source, converting sunlight into electricity.
Organic production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers.
